Each weekday morning, host Trenae Nuri will chat with people all across Philly’s diverse neighborhoods about issues that matter to you. Whether that’s what do I even do on the weekends in this city with endless options, or how do I get the bus to actually stop, or how is this city going to keep our kids safe and educated? City Cast Philly is here for it all. It’s that energetic, informative conversation you might overhear at your neighborhood coffee shop. But with City Cast Philly, you’re always welcome to join in.

    Is This $4.5 Billion Program Really Fixing Philly’s Sewer Systems?
    Jun 13 2024
    In 2011, the Philadelphia Water Department created the 25-year, $2.4 billion “Green City, Clean Waters” program to fix the city’s aging sewer systems. However, even though the program has been nationally recognized for its innovative green infrastructure, it’s turning out to be more costly than expected. Host Trenae Nuri speaks with Kyle Bagenstose, an independent environmental journalist, about these cost increases, and if the city needs a better plan to handle its sewage problems. Read Kyle’s full story on the “Green City, Clean Waters” program here. Learn more about the “Green City, Clean Waters” program, and how you can get involved. Want some more Philly news?
